Ascend / Descend

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Uniting with the Swedish heavy psych trio, the record is a conceptual split exploration of spiritual ascent and physical decay. Slomatics' side features expansive synthesizer pads and high-gain rhythmic loops that reflect their maturation into a more cinematic brand of stoner-doom. It functions as a stylistic summary of the modern European heavy underground's move toward increasingly abstract and structurally varied instrumental narratives.
